...bookstores. Clinton's election-season tome quickly turned into a best seller. Not so for Dole's brief treatise (158 pages), which was co-written with his famously verbose running mate. If the election was decided at the cash register, Dole and Clinton would be also-rans to General Colin Powell, who has achieved the equivalent of a literary landslide (2.6 million copies in print) with his pre-election teaser.

MARK ROLFSEMA Chelmsford, Massachusetts First Colin Powell, now William Bennett. Both are men of substance who refuse to play the game because it contradicts their sense of right and wrong and their desire to protect their families. Maybe neither would make a good President, but if our system deters dynamic individuals with integrity from trying, how will...
...merit; while the third, the most eagerly anticipated of the three, falls well short of expectations. The cities: Los Angeles, Washington and New York.
